McCollum Scores CMA Awards Nomination for "Song of the Year" with “Burn It Down”
(September 13, 2024 - Nashville, TN) Parker McCollum has become one of the leading voices in a new generation of Country music with his fresh but traditionalist approach to his sound and songwriting. His latest release, "What Kinda Man," available now, is a call-back to the sounds of his Texas roots and simply good ol' Country music. Written by McCollum, Natalie Hemby and Jeremy Spillman, and produced by Frank Liddell and Eric Masse, "What Kinda Man" is instrumentally rich with acoustic and electric guitar, foot-stomping drum and bass, and the forward sounds of the harmonica led by McCollum's captivating vocals. “What Kinda Man” will impact Country radio on Monday (9/16), following four consecutive No. 1 singles.
“Could not be more excited to share this new music with the world, especially this new single “What Kinda Man." Lately, I’ve been coming back to this sound and the roots of where I started out. I think this new song is my way of revisiting that and creating something that feels like home to me and my fans. I hope the world loves it."
